How is the controversy over vaccinations linked to autism?

What will be an ideal response?


The controversy is due to the inclusion of thimerosal, which is derivative of an ethyl-mercury compound, in the vaccines as a preservative. Some studies showed that there was a link between these vaccinations and autism. It has been suggested that there may be a genetic link that when certain individuals are exposed to thimerosal, autism may be a result.
